We are currently cruising our Islander Freeport 36 sailboat in Mexico. We have been extensively documentating our Islander Freeport outfitting for this adventure. We will now be reporting what of our outfitng is of value, what works and what is not of value.

Cockpit binical re-paint

2014 - Barra-Bahia de Navidad Lagoon, MexicoWhile still in Paradise Village Marina in Banderas Bay Mexico we decided to paint the binical part that now holds the two cup holders. This area is\was a work bench and resting place for all kinds of gear. The green primer paint was showing through and different kinds of stains doted the area. This is one of those little projects that seem to never get done but take little effort and have a big pay off. Why it takes so long to get them done, seems like there is always a more important task to do.

Sanded and ready for paint.

We purchased the paint from a paint store next to Zaragoza Chandlery in Puerto Vallarta.
